Equality NC Foundation

Civic engagement: the civic engagement strategy of encf is centered upon reaching people traditionally underrepresented: lgbtq+, voters of color, and rural voters. This includes voter registration, mobilization, education about how the election connects to long-term material benefits and combating increased voter suppression. Our civic engagement strategy includes our statewide bipartisan peer network of elected officials representing communities from across north carolina, and in every level of state and local government, who are supportive of lgbtq rights and justice.

All other small programs

Education: encf provides training and education to individuals, institutions, businesses, and the government on how to provide diverse, inclusive, and equitable environments through the core strategies of advocacy, training and education, leadership development, and base- building. Our education policy includes implementing lgbtq-inclusive training and professional development statewide, recruiting volunteers for our advocates network, and working with lgbtq+ youth from rural and other marginalized communities. We invest in young changemakers through our rural youth empowerment (rye) fellowship, in addition to providing education and training to adult educators and caretakers.
